Turnpike bridge opening today?
 

I’m going on a limb and guessing the turnpike bridge is opening today.
My neighbor heard rumors is was opening yesterday, so, yesterday, i tried to do golf cart directions to the Fenney Grill on the Villages App - got a message saying it could not do the directions.
Did the directions today - and i got directions.
Try it....

That would be great. Yesterday I heard a rumor it was opening today. I figured it was just a rumor. Since the GPS now works it could be true.

OH!!!! How exciting!!!!!

Not yet, but there are crews out this morning doing final cleanup. Just did a flight over the north ramp and only a few landscaping guys doing the last minute pretty work, so very soon.

It's only true if your neighbor is a brother in-law to a hair dresser.

How did you know?

Source please!

I out a ? In the title - my source is yesterday the Villages GPS app couldn’t give me directions to a place over the bridge, this morning it did. I don’t think the app got updated accidentally.

If its not today, its within days

The Water Lily parking lot is closed by folks in trucks labeled “Villages Special Events”. There are flags up at the south entrance to the bridge and a group of golf carts are being staged in the parking lot. One of the carts has balloons and a sign “First Across Water Lily Bridge”. Make from all that what you will. 😎

Oh, well there goes the neighborhood. Gonna be the Fenny invasion.

I'm kidding, congrats! Finally.

Oh, and us northerners can invade the putt and play

Don, you got there too early this morning. Around 8:30am this morning barricades were being removed, Welcome flags were installed, and a welcoming committee blocked off Water Lily parking lot in advance of welcoming those with invitations to be amongst the few selected to be first to cross.
